title: [Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Surgical treatment after sclerotherapy. Presentation of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: We herein report a case of a male patient aged 23, with acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, secondary to ingestion of acetyl salicylic acid. Endoscopy showed a linear laceration in the esophagus-gastric union. Based on endoscopic findings the diagnosis of Mallory-Weiss Syndrome was established. Surgical treatment was required, after sclerotherapy; we reviewed the literature for presenting a general panorama of this pathology.
